I have managed to get the Black background on Contacts, MMS and Phone apps, I'm using the Inverted apps that were posted here, it works, I needed to remove the secMMS.apk.Odex file in order to avoid the Black on Black issue but it works, I know that since doing that, every time I restart the phone I get the Android is Updating message for a couple of seconds, I don't like it but I can live with it having the benefit of having the Black backgrounds.
So, I have been wondering about the Email App, it's the only one that it will stay with the White Background, and it then feel out of place now. I just saw that in next ShoStock release he mentions that it will fix the Black on Black issue on Email App, so in other words there should be the Inverted App someplace already. Well, I went ahead and downloaded the Shostock Rom and extracted the secEmail_J.Apk thinking that it will do the trick but nothing, then I extracted the odex file and nothing, then I remembered that I needed to delete the MMS odex file in order to work fine but no way with the Email App.
Have anyone managed to have the Inverted email app working? I'd appreciate if you can give me hints, I haven't found anything in here and across the Web.
Thanks.
I'm interested too. We shall see.
Though if you are talking for gmail I am pre5y sure there is a team blackout that has inverted gapps.

No, I'm talking about the Stock email App. And just FYI, I sent a message to Sho (From the Shostock Rom) and he managed to get the inverted email app doing some adjusting to some system files, not as simple as replacing Apps, so this one won't be as easy as the MMS, Contacts and Phone apps.

I tried installing some inverted and AOSP mail apps and ran into a bunch of crashes myself. I'd be interested in seeing what his methods were.
Would you mind sharing his work or pointing us to the inverted mail app? I've been looking everywhere for this. Thanks if so!!!

I have searched far and wide, and have been unable to find a solution, but I am sick of the SMS/MMS included in the stock Samsung rom. The lack of Hyperlink support kills me... Any way to get the stock messaging app working or any roms which have the stock messaging app?
Try Handcent in the market. I use it over the stock MMS.

Really, you searched far and wide?
It seems to me like you probably didn't actually use the "search" function at all.
If you had, you very quickly would have found this thread, that I originally started, about stock 2.1 apps working on the vibrant, heck it was only at the bottom of page 2 of this very forum, not buried under hundreds of threads/pages.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731822
If you had honestly searched, and replied in that thread, I probably would have even typed out everything step-by-step again, for like the 50th time to help make sure you get it installed correctly, but wow, now I'm just getting annoyed.
Sigh, I totally understand why so many DEV's don't ever respond here anymore. =(

Just get hand cent or chompsms from the market. Then in the stock messaging app turn off notifications and in chomp or hand cent turn them on.
i am using handcent.. works flawless for me.. never have any lag time and/or force close.. i want to get rid of the stock sms also but i have not found anything here yet..
EDIT: I remove the mms.apk and mms.odex from the system/app folder.. now i don't see the mms icon and just using Handcent..

Then busybox cp the vanilla MMS app to /system/app
The end.
You can open hyperlinks in the sms/mms app included on the phone. Tap the message and you can then tap on the hyperlink to open it in your browser
So much fail in one thread, ha.

Hi guys,
First of all, I would like to thank all of the developers and the people who maintain this board for providing such an amazing educational service for the rest of us. Without this website, I would never have learned how to root and do the fancy things that I can now do on my phone. thank you!!
So last night I rooted (2.2, Droid X) and removed the stock e-mail app by renaming the .apk to .bak. Today I decided that I want it back since I use 2 different e-mail accounts. After renaming the app back to .apk, I now see the E-mail app in my app drawer again. However, when I click on it, it loads a black screen for a half second, then closes. I am running LPP as well. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
To the best of my knowledge, you should be able to just rename it back (like you said you did, I'm just hinting maybe something got corrupted?).
Well, it seems to have suddenly fixed itself, I'm not sure what the issue was. However, it does not behave the way it did before. Prior to rooting, I had the e-mail icon in my dock (LPP) and when I tapped on it, it would load my gmail. Now, it loads the MESSAGING window with Universal Messaging, Facebook and Text Messaging. Sigh. Oh well, I guess I'll have to manage without it.
I will be uploading my rom very shortly. I believe this is the right section, I am not a dev yet....but the devs have said that ICS can't synch facebook from what I have heard and that it requires Haxsynch to work.
I don't have my contacts setup perfectly at the moment so I haven't got it to synch contacts properply, but so far it has synched something, it has synched all Calendar from facebook and messages and it is opperating the facebook interface within Android like on any other samsung phone
Can someone tell me a decent screen capture app for SGS running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 RC 3.0?
I also have all SNS accounts work, Twitter, Alternate email and even Server
Will be testing and adding up results soon. It's late here in Australia and I am preparing my ROM of ICS to be ready for Uploading here.
Thanks,
James
Interesting... You used romanbb's fix?
Btw ICS comes with screenshot capability iirc?
Screenshot.
volume down and power button press
Who is romanbb?
I am sort of new here:
Here is the details of my ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21463927#post21463927
Do you have to be an approved dev to a ROM in this section?
I have my thread up in general thats all
just a quick add to bump this cause I know I am very close now. Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have actually got full facebook profiles showing up in my contacts list along with all the details, phone numbers emails etc, the last thing remaining is the picture? anyone further ahead than this?
Facebook sync is working. Didn't realise that I had it going all along? All that was wrong was the permissions on the init.d script? You would think that the "fix permissions" command would actually work however it does not. I used Android Commander to change it cause it was blatantly obvious that it was wrong when the file icon looks different. Will have to give big thanks to the dev of android commander just for this alone
Thanks dude. Works like charm

Are you serious? I think I pulled those links to my first revision of the ROM. I havent even uploaded the fix for the sync issues yet lol. But I did do a complete pull of my system (systemdump) cause I had ran out of space….somehow removing apps didn't allow for more room? I would pull an app and couldn't put it back. I even pulled like 6 apps and then still couldn't put back the framework, so rather than reboot I just did a system dump and then dragged the 20mb of .so files that I added to try get facebook sync and several other things working and sure enough FB syn stopped working, but allowed me to put my framework back and get my phone online again. That being said I added back what .so files could have been needed and still no sync? Hmmm that means there is an .so file that I bet no one has even considered being necessary and it IT IS!
I now have to play a game of trial and error till I find out which one it is. I am contemplating restoring my system before system dump and then pulling a whole **** tin of apps that I would normally like or need and then keeping sync and then one by one pull files from libs directory until FB sync stops working. Then re-add all the apps I want back up to stock. That will give me a clean ROM to work with.
What's the best way to get Emoji's working? Being able to see them would be nice... but just sending them would be fine. Anyone have a way of doing this? I know about Handcent/GO SMS emoji extensions but I like the stock TW messaging app, so I don't wanna do that.
EDIT: Also, I'm talking about being able to send them everywhere (Messaging, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). Seeing them everywhere would also be a plus as mentioned above
Well if you don't want to use a different messaging app, then you have to replace the system font with one that has emoji support I believe.
Edit: Or you can flash the zip here for the default android emoji http://www.androidcoliseum.com/2013/06/how-to-get-422-emoji-keyboard-on-your.html

Well from 4.1 and up you should be able to see it by default because they baked it into jellybean. That's where the keyboard comes from. Color though, good luck with that one

My friend was sending me em... and I saw all of them except for a few. Did that little trick in the post I mentioned above, and went back into my messaging app and was able to see every single one! And yeah I know I wish we could do that somehow!

i clicked on the s3 link you referred to. the xml file is no longer downloadable but i was able to grab the 9.83mb font file. So all you did was replace the original droidsansfallback with the modified 9.83mb file one and rebooted your phone?
I tried doing that and still cannot see received iphone sms emojis. (i can see emojis on all other apps besides the sms apps, including Handcent + emoji plugin)

Thanks for your prompt reply.
There is no way to change the app since it opens from gmail itself.
I don't want to change the rom as the user of this phone is not advance one (not me).
Thanks.
